​Nicholas Marsh has successfully defended his dissertation for the degree dr.philos: "Because We Have the Maxim Gun: The Relationship Between Arms Acquisition by Non‐State Groups and Violence".


​The dissertation addresses the question of how arms acquisition by non‐state groups relates to violence.

The defense was also notable for having been the first all-digital defense by a PRIOite since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Congratulations Nic!
